PARIS, Nov. 1G.-Wilson appeared before

sisted that the letters produced at the CAT

The expert declared the letters were written
recently. The manufacturer of the paper on
which the letters were written swore that
the paper was not woven until 1885. The
magistrate has summoned Wilson's private
secretary who wrote the disputed letters.
The situation is confusing and disquieting.

the felicitous verse that is 70 be found in his
Boutwell," published thirteen years ago.
The dedication begins;
The love that comes and goes like wind or fire
Hath words and wings wherewith to speak
and tiee
But love more deep than passions deep de-
sire,
Clear and inviolable as the unbounded sea;
What wings of words may serve to set it
free,
To lift and lead it homewardl Time and death
Are less than love, or mans life spirit saith
False when he deems his life is more than
breath.
says:
Thine to thine.
God rather strike thy life as dark as mine
Than tarnish thus thine honour; for to me
Shameful it seems ] know not if it be
For men to lie and smile, and swear, and lie,
And bear the gods of heaven false witness
The kings paramour says to her daughter:
Dost understand, child, what the birds are
singing!
The latter replies:
All the land
Knows that the water tells it to the rushes
Aloud, and lower and softly to the sand;
The flowers, lip to lip and hand to hand
Laugh and repeat it all till darkness bushes
Their singing with "a word that falls and
Crushes
All song to silence down the river strand
And where the hawthorn hearkcns for the
thrushes
The kings dying speech is this:
Yea, know
| Our fate is fallen upon us and its woe;
Yet have we lacked not gladness and this
Is not so hard, we have sweet life to
friend,
| And find not death our entity. All men
born
| Die, and but few find evening one with
| morn
| AS do, seeing the sun of all my life
Tighten my death in sight of child and wife.
! would not live again to lose that kiss,
| And die some death not half so sweet as this
